We were appointed by Bristol City Council to provide landscape architectural services for the restoration and improvement of this 850 acre parkland estate. The £2 million landscape works formed part of a £4.4 million Heritage Lottery funded project and included:

· Extension of two deer parks (red deer and fallow deer)
· Re-planting of historic parkland trees
· Woodland management
· Construction of two new car parks
· Restoration (narrowing) of estate carriage drives and removal of vehicular control paraphernalia
· Restoration of historic cart ponds and drainage system
· Restoration of the mansion’s woodland garden
· Repairs and improvements to historic cobble paving in association with new visitor centre.
· Creation of a new garden for tenants of a restored lodge house.
· Creation of new children's play area and picnic area
· Restoration and design of new estate iron work, including entrance gates and piers.
· Input into an estate management plan

​

Working on the project involved liaison and co-ordination with a wide range of parties including a Conservation Architect (who was acting as lead consultant on architectural aspects of the project), highways engineers, park rangers, deer keepers, ecologists (regarding bats, badgers, newts, invertebrates and endangered plants), mechanical, electrical and structural engineers, various user groups and disability access groups not to mention the various specialist contractors employed to execute the works.
